Sofía Vergara Reflects on Griselda Role

News summary

Sofía Vergara has revealed her deeply personal motivation for portraying notorious Colombian drug lord Griselda Blanco in Netflix's miniseries 'Griselda.' The actress's older brother, Rafael, was murdered by a Colombian cartel in 1996, an event that profoundly impacted her family and inspired her to tell Blanco's story. Vergara, who also serves as an executive producer for the series, initially hesitated to take on a dramatic role after her long tenure on 'Modern Family.' However, after Blanco's death in 2012 and the success of 'Narcos,' she felt it was the right moment to pursue the project. Critics have praised her transformation for the role, which has spent six weeks in Netflix's Top 10 and earned her a nomination for best lead actress in a limited series. Vergara emphasizes the importance of portraying Blanco without romanticizing her violent actions, acknowledging the complexity of the character.
